RQ08882 - Technology Architect - Senior

The key deliverables for this role is to:

• Review and update the existing ECHO information Architecture (conceptual logical and physical) to ensure it is current to the latest build
  
• Develop a business intelligence (BI) data model (conceptual logical physical) based on the client needs
  
• Map the transaction data model to the BI data model
  
• Map the UI data fields to logical model to business components and physical model as the system is on a Siebel platform. This will facilitate future data extraction from the transactional system
  
• Note: Existing data model is documented in Power Designer. Updates to the existing model and the new model are to be also documented in Power Designer.
  

Responsibilities:

• Conduct comprehensive information architecture needs assessment under the guidance and leadership of project leads and cluster architects
  
• Conducts and facilitates stakeholder interviews and/or workshops to determine reporting requirements

• Logical Data Model
  
• Fact/Dimension Matrix
  
• Logical Dimensional Model
  
• Interface Data Requirements and design
  
• Support project leads to create detailed plans and resource estimates for information architecture components
  
• Provide information architecture expertise and support/inform to solution design/development
  
• Adhere to all applicable GOITS standards
  
• Revise architectures per action and/or conditions arising from LRC s governance body (Project Gating Review Committee) and Corporate EA Governance review bodies as required
  

Knowledge Transfer Requirements

• Knowledge transfer is expected to occur throughout the duration of the assignment through regular meetings touchpoints and working sessions with LRC staff
  
• All design development artefacts and source code including all relevant and complete documents must be transferred to the ministry in the designated repositories provided
  
• Dedicated knowledge transfer sessions will be scheduled to ensure completeness of knowledge transfer and all documentation is shared and allow LRC staff to ask clarification and/or follow up questions
